Personal Allergy SYmptom FOrecast  (PASYFO)

Allergic rhinitis is most often manifested by nasal symptoms, but can also affect the eyes and lungs, and less commonly the ears and sinuses. The most common nasal symptoms are sneezing, itching and runny nose.

Limit outdoor activities when airborne pollen concentration is high to avoid contact with pollen allergens. For this reason, it is important to keep track of your allergy symptoms and pollen load.

The Pollen Diary has been developed by researchers to assist individuals sensitive to pollen allergens keep track of their physical condition. By completing the Pollen Diary via PASYFO app, the user receives information about the amount of pollen and a personalised forecast of allergy symptoms.

The services include the measurement of airborne pollen and fungal spores using volumetric traps or real-time devices, the analysis and evaluation of the collected data and the dissemination of the results.
